HOSPITAL WHERE HE LATER DIED. THE VICTIM'S CONDITION IS NOT KNOWN. A MELBOURNE AREA WOMAN IS TELLING AN UNFORGETTABLE TALE ABOUT THE ALLIGATOR WHO CAME TO DINNER. SHE SAYS, IT WAS A HUGE ONE AND SHE TOLD WESH 2'S DAN BILLOW IT SEEMED TO KNOCK RIGHT ON HER FRONT DOOR. WHEN I OPENED THAT DOOR HIS HEAD WAS RIGHT HERE. MARIE MAXWELL OF SUN TREE SAYS THE ALLIGATOR MUST HAVE COME FROM THE GOLF COURSE RESPOND BEHIND HER HOME. HE MADE WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A KNOCK AT THE FRONT DOOR AROUND DINNER TIME. SO I RAN TO THE DOOR AND OPENED IT. AND IN SHOCK I SEE THIS HUGE ALLIGATOR STARING ME EYE TO EYE. [ LAUGHTER ] NEEDLESS TO SAY, SHE DID NOT LET HIM IN. I WENT AROUND TO THE WINDOW. RIGHT THERE. AND I LOOKED. HERE WE ARE. EYEBALL TO EYEBALL. IT WAS AN ALLIGATOR. AND HE WAS HUGE TO ME. HUGE. MARIE CALLED POLICE AND THEN A GATOR TRAPPER. MOST OF THE TIME WILDLIFE OFFICERS AND GATOR TRAPPERS SAY THE GATORS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO LIVE IN THE PONDS AND DITCHES AROUND OUR HOMES. UNLESS THEY'VE LOST THEIR FEAR OF HUMANS. AND THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CASE HERE. SO A TRAPPER DID COME AND CATCH ABOUT A FIVE FOOT GATOR. MARIE SAYS IT WAS MUCH TOO SMALL TO BE THE ONE AT THE DOOR. FOR THE TIME BEING THE BIG ONE SEEMS TO HAVE DISAPPEARED. AND SHE CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. SHE'S HEARD THEY RUN PRETTY FAST. EVEN IF WE HAPPEN TO LEAVE THE CAR OUT THEY COULD BE UNDER THE CAR. I HOPE I DON'T EVER HAVE TO OUT RUN A GATOR. OR GREET ONE AT THE FRONT DOOR.
